Description
Currently each module contains a link called 'dune' which links to the parent directory. This allows to include headers by writing
#include <dune/common/foo.hh>
I find this link confusing. That's okay, but I have also seen several people try to copy entire modules and wonder why the copying takes so long... I know, there are options to make cp not follow links, but that's not the point.
Here's my proposal. Take dune-common for an example. We rename
dune-common/common
to
dune-common/dune-common
Then, instead of writing
#include <dune/common/foo.hh>
one can write
#include <dune-common/foo.hh>
Without the need for a link. Note that for a smooth transition we can have both ways at the same time.
